Where can I compare prices online?
My summary of the best UK online sites to compare prices on a range of products like electricity, broadband charges and mortgage deals.
"Where can I compare prices online" is a common search engine query for a range of products from gas to CDs to holidays to financial products like mortgages.
I have been following the growth in popularity fo these sites for around 10 years now, so let me be your guide to the best ones.
The Best UK comparison sites
This post explains the best places to search online for these types of products and gives you a custom search engine. In order of number of visits, the best or rather most popular UK comparison sites are:
- Compare shopping prices on Kelkoo
- Compare utility prices on USwitch
- Compare financial service deals on Money Supermarket
- Travel and holiday comparison on Travel Supermarket - Kelkoo also has a category for travel
Other places to try for product searches like CDs, Books, etc which are also in the Top 10 are:
If you try all of those, you will almost certainly get a good deal, but remember that not all comparisons are equal. You need to compare the delivery prices and other extra costs as well as the core costs. You particularly need to be careful in financial services, where products are now developed to perform well in the best buy tables of Money Supermarket where additional costs aren't present.
Please add your comments, experiences or link suggestions to inform me and other visitors to my site.
I've set it up to be quick, but you can't add true hyperlinks - just text.
Thanks, Dave Chaffey.
